Ouija board

Small wooden board with a pointer, surrounded by letters of the alphabet, used for obtaining alleged spirit messages. It is a variant of the planchette. The questioner places one hand lightly on the board, which is then said to move of its own accord, spelling out answers to questions asked.

An upended glass can be used instead of a board. The Ouija board is usually associated with spiritualism. It is named after the French and German words for ‘yes’.
